Exercise shows a backbone trace of Glutamate Synthase which allows the ligands inside ADP, P3S, Cl- and Mn2+ to be seen.
Isolates chain A of Glutamate Synthase and labels the ligands for easy identification.
Wire Structure of Active Site residues of chain A using information obtained from PDBsum entry for Glutamate Synthase.
Still picture of salt bridge between residue 63 of chain F and residue 319 of chain G. Bridge length is also provided in angstroms.
Outline
-- Work in Progress --
Glutamine synthetase (GS) catalyzes the ATP dependent condensation of glutamate and ammonia, producing, glutamine, ADP, and an inorganic phosphate group.
Glutamate + ATP + NH3 → Glutamine + ADP + phosphate
Ammonium ion is thought to bind to GS at the monovalent cation binding site for Tl(+) and Cs(+) ions.
